The Sabbath Chapter 62: Gifts and Gloves
Gods always like to create things. They create new species, or, according to their own appearance, create a new life, a new history.
A long time ago, I can't remember where, Ashishvi Messertal heard this sentence at that time.
At that time, his hobbies were painting, sculpture, and making models.
The reason why it is called a "spread hobby" is because he himself does not think he likes to do these things.
He doesn't actually have any preferences.
The Mortali Code says that you should love all things in this world equally, no matter they are good or bad, no matter they are beautiful or ugly, no matter they exist in the past or the future.
But he doesn't like anything.
So he artificially found some hobbies for himself.
As long as you persist in doing it, it is easy to be regarded as your hobby.
At first, it was just painting, and then it naturally developed to be able to do a little sculpture, and later, he could make some mechanical products according to the existing objects, no matter how fast he progressed in the eyes of others, but He himself always believes that he has no talent in this area. He just has good learning ability and can quickly learn the methods that others have studied thoroughly. He has no innovation himself.
Besides, he always felt that the things he made lacked something. At that time, he thought that what he lacked was spirituality, but now, he knows that what he lacked was emotion.
It's just a mechanical manufacture of an item. He doesn't think it's a creation, it's just a simple manufacture. He has no feelings for the things he makes, and he can easily destroy them.
He only had a slight impression of one of the works at that time.
That's fish.
The mechanical fish is made of metal, with a snow-white body, a huge head, a tail made of special materials that is as light as silk, and small fins on both sides of the body, which can fly in the air. Swimming in the middle, he made several "fish", and then let them swim back and forth in the white palace.
Many people were stunned when they saw it. The fish that can slowly shuttle back and forth in the air is really beautiful!
But at that time, there was only one person who said something strange:
"I saw fear, the eyes of these fish are full of fear."
It was a dwarf who said this, and it was also the first time she came to the Sun Palace to have an audience.
He glanced at the other party, and then his eyes fell on the outside of the palace again, those "fish" who had already flown out of the palace and swam in mid-air—
Thinking about it now, even that rare time when he felt that he had created something was actually just a copy.
Those fish are just the first sight for others, but for him they are just big fish that he has seen countless times.
Adjusted the image of the big fish, he made a new big fish out of metal.
He has never paid attention to the fish looking at him, he thought it was empty and full of murderous intent, but in the end, it was said:
"The eyes of these fish are full of fear."
Each fish corresponds to a fish killed by him in a certain period of history, and the eyes of those fish are full of fear.
Thinking about it now, that is probably also a way to impart emotion to the utensil, but the emotion given does not come from him, but from the original model of the utensil.
The former His Majesty Ashishvi Messertal, now Xiaomei, is sitting in front of a small workbench, facing a boring drama, he remains motionless amidst the crying of the heroine, taking his time hammered a black stone.
The workshop equipped him with a full set of new tools. The old tools used before are completely incomparable to them. Even with the same materials, using the new tools can increase the level of the finished product by at least two levels!
What's more, he still has all kinds of new materials now, although they are still incomparable with the materials he used to use, not even the materials he used to make those fish, but what he can get now The material is still much better than the material of the current body he uses.
All the materials used to complete the commission are provided by the workshop, so, during this period of time, he has come into contact with a lot of materials that are currently available here. 30% off workshop materials.
After making batches of hands, feet, arms, and calves in batches, he finally calculated the most suitable material through countless experiences, and then began to prepare to make Ronggui's body.
Because the materials used are very good, one month's credits are only enough to buy some materials for the body, so he does it slowly while practicing.
After several months of accumulation and preparation, he has now made a pair of hands, a pair of arms, a pair of thighs, and feet. What he is now thinking about is the torso of the body.
The drawer under the workbench has long been useless, and now he has put out a hanger outside—this is the bracket commonly used by craftsmen to make mechanical bodies. The parts are hung in place and filled in a little bit, so you can see the effect as you go.
Therefore, at this very moment, a half-finished human figure has appeared beside Xiaomei.
If someone pushes the door and comes in now and sees the scene in front of him, he will definitely be shocked and completely bewildered by the exquisite human figure he sees in front of him!
That is really a beautiful figure——
The torso of the body is all made of white metal, like the best white porcelain skin, the soles of his feet are like jade, the shape of the nails is neat and round, the calf is firm and full of strength, the thigh is slender, looking up, his palm is slender And powerful, the lines of the arms connected to the wrists are extremely sharp, the neck is slender, like a swan's neck, and looking up, half of the face of the human figure has been completed, although there is only half of the face, but that face is perfect! The sharp facial lines, the eyebrows are decorated with fine metal wires, and the closed left eye has long and thick eyelashes. Just looking at him so quietly makes people wonder what the eyes are under his eyelids color.
The black stone that Xiaomei is carving now is the eyeball he chose for this body.
During this period of time, when massaging Ronggui's body, he has been trying his best to record Ronggui's body data, and also pretending to inadvertently ask Ronggui's preferences, as well as some invisible body data.
Such as eye color, hair color, even the color of internal organs
"Well, what color is your heart?" People of different races have different shapes, positions, and even colors of their hearts, and he really doesn't know the color of Ronggui's internal organs.
Ronggui was naturally dumbfounded by his question.
"Well, I used to be in good health, and I have never had an open mouth operation." With a confused face, Ronggui scratched his head.
Then use silver-white ones. Silver-white internal organs are easier to identify, and they are easier to spot if they fall out occasionally—from a practical point of view, Xiaomei helped him make a decision.
Considering that Ronggui likes to carry handkerchiefs and wild lard with him, he also designed a portable compartment for him in his abdomen, which can be directly stored when opened, and the entire cavity can be taken out for cleaning, which is very convenient;
There is a pulley under the footboard, which is convenient for traveling;
Didn't Ronggui claim to be from a "nation that loves planting"? He designed Ronggui's fingernails to be stretchable. When they are all stretched out, they can dig the soil very conveniently, just like two pairs of palladium nails. It's very convenient to dig a hole and grow vegetables;
The charging cable is designed to stretch and contract, so that Ronggui can continue to wander around the house while charging;
He really thought about this a lot from the perspective of Ronggui's usage habits, and Xiaomei, who is carefully carving a black eyeball, probably hasn't realized it yet.
However, even if he finds out, he will probably attribute it to "he is a thoughtful person".
However, through these details, it is not difficult to find that he really knows Ronggui very well now, maybe because of those portraits, maybe because Ronggui's nagging and narcissistic self-praise unconsciously, The honor in his heart has already taken shape.
Xiaomei didn't think so much, she rounded her eyeballs, climbed onto the chair, raised her toes, extended her arms and opened the eyelids of the human figure, and patted them hard, inserting the newly made eyeballs.
It's not bright enough - after thinking about it for a while, he struggled to dig out the eyeballs, and then climbed off the chair to re-sculpt.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and he took out a few blankets that he had prepared in advance, and then covered the unformed figure next to him, and then opened the door.
The one who entered was Rabji among the four dwarves, the dwarf who used to work in Yebara and was later assigned by Xiaomei to pull the bellows. After pulling the bellows for a month, his temper improved a lot, or let him It is his temper that cannot improve his skills. After that, his skills have improved significantly. Since then, he has admired Xiaomei very much, and now he is the number one follower of Master Mei.
"Master, Manager Philip has brought the guests." Rabji said loudly.
In fact, it was the guest who wanted to break in, but was stopped by Rabuji, who blocked the door firmly. He knocked on the door himself and let them in after getting permission.
Nodding, Xiaomei immediately said to Rabji, "You go to work."
Bringing the guest in, he closed the door again.
This is the occasional "customer-made guests who come to the door".
The requests of this kind of customers are fuzzy and cumbersome, most of them have money and materials, and their tempers are often bad-this is the consensus among the staff in the workshop.
So, although it is a glorious and profitable thing to be able to receive customization, most craftsmen are still too lazy to accept it.
The other masters were either not specialized in this, or they refused decisively. With no other choice, the manager had no choice but to bring the guests to the new Master Xiaomei.
"Turn off the TV, it's too noisy!" The guest shouted after pulling up the chair opposite the workbench and sitting down.
Xiaomei looked at him, picked up the remote control, and turned down the volume of the TV.
Once the sound of the TV is turned down, the guest's voice becomes even more rude.
"I want to customize a new head. The new mechanical head needs enough nerves to be fully connected to my brain. I am a person who relies on my brain for food. Can you, a little robot, do this?" Seeing Xiaomei's tattered The guest frowned.
His eyebrows are also made of wire. He has a mechanical face and a semi-mechanical body. Xiaomei inadvertently glanced at his arm under the cloak. This man is not young anymore.
With such a bad temper at such a young age, it's no wonder that he's getting old quickly—the voice of Ronggui suddenly appeared in his mind.
I was often pestered by Ronggui to talk about things at work. Once again, Xiaomei simply recorded the conversation she had with a custom-made guest, and played it back for Ronggui. That was how Ronggui commented at the time. .
It seems that most of the customers who come to customize are really old and have a bad temper--Xiaomei thought about it and a little acquiesced.
Thinking about what happened that day, Xiaomei didn't say a word, and what appeared in front of the two people opposite was the cold and very craftsman-like Master Mei.
The manager hurriedly displayed the images of Xiaomei's previous works, and flipped through hundreds of pictures, and the guest was a little convinced.
The voice also dropped.
"You are very good at making mechanical bodies. If this is the case, you can help me make an arm first." The guest said, lifting the cloak to reveal the old arm underneath.
Glancing at the arm in front of her, Xiaomei moved for a while.
Pressing the call bell, he called in his assistants.
One person is responsible for measuring, one person is responsible for listening to the request, one person is responsible for recording, and the other person continues to brag about the past works of Master Xiaomei.
Sitting in the wide chair with her back turned, Xiaomei only left a dilapidated figure for the guests.
Such a posture looks really masterful!
Being intimidated by Xiaomei's high-cold attitude, the guest's posture was much lower when he finally went out, and finally the manager withdrew very gratefully.
After seeing off the guests, he came again and expressed his thanks to Xiaomei again.
"That guest is very fluffy. He had an argument with Master Luode before, but fortunately, Master Mei, you have kept him together." The manager said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead : "After all, this guest's family has a strong background, and we obtained many materials through his channels, so it's really not easy to offend."
The manager didn't say much, and after fully expressing his gratitude, he put a beautiful small bag on Xiaomei's workbench.
"Master, your gloves are a bit old. This is a small gift. Please accept the good gloves I bought from above."
After speaking, he smiled and left.
Look, this is another dwarf that does not conform to people's traditional impression.
It's so smooth that it's not like the dwarf in people's impression——Looking at the back of the manager, Xiaomei thought to herself.
Returning the volume of the TV to high, Xiaomei continued to work without any intention of putting on new gloves. He was still working with the white gloves that Ronggui gave him, but when he got off work, he turned the workbench I picked up the gift bag that had been neglected all afternoon.
"Ah, is this a gift for me?" Ronggui was very pleasantly surprised when he took the gift bag handed over by Xiaomei.
Anyway, there is rhubarb in the car, and there is nothing else to do while sitting in the car, so Ronggui happily unwrapped the present. When he saw the pair of exquisite white gloves below, Ronggui was stunned.
"This was given to Xiaomei by someone else, right?" Gloves that only third-level craftsmen can wear, Ronggui has long been popularized, and the reason why he made gloves for Xiaomei is precisely because he accepted that Science popularization.
"It doesn't matter if you wear it at home, you can wear it when you are massaging your body." Xiaomei said blankly beside her, "Aren't your hands a little rusty from being soaked in water for a long time? The material of the gloves used by the craftsman is very waterproof. "
Ronggui looked at Xiaomei's profile.
Well, because there is no nose, Xiaomei's profile is very flat
With a sound of "click", Ronggui couldn't help but bumped his own face on the flat side face.
"Thank you Xiaomei for loving you to death!"
A gentle bump is Ronggui's way of expressing his gratitude as always
So, that night, Ronggui put on new gloves and massaged the bodies of the two of them. Xiaomei also wore gloves, but they were obviously worn out and dirty, but they were the ones Ronggui made for him in the first place.
I don't wear new gloves when I have them, I only wear the ones I made myself.
Ronggui tilted his head, happily massaged the two bodies
